In the first apparent air force casualty of the campaign, a U.S. F-15E crashed in Libya overnight and its two crew members were rescued, the U.S. military said. The crash was likely caused by mechanical failure and not hostile fire, it said. (Suhaib Salem/Reuters)

The first phase of military action against Libya to impose a UN-mandated no-fly zone got underway on Saturday. However, even as the first planes took off, world leaders were still talking at an emergency summit in Paris over what to do about the crisis. France’s warplanes carried out air strikes, follow swiftly by U.S. and British warships and submarines firing Tomahawk cruise missiles at Libya’s air defence systems. Operation Odyssey Dawn continued to roll out over the weekend, striking various targets throughout the country.

“This was a barbaric bombing which could have hit hundreds of civilians gathered at the residence of Muammar Gaddafi about 400 metres away from the building which was hit,” a Gaddafi spokesman said.
